Panel Removal

Side Panel Removal

Unscrew the 4 thumb screws to remove the side panels. Repeat the same steps for the other side.

Front Panel Removal

For the front panel, place your hands on the indicated area and pull outward.

Motherboard Installation

Standoff screws are pre-installed. Install the motherboard with the provided M3 screws.

Power Supply Installation

Use the provided screws to secure the PSU in place. The rear view shows the mounting points.

Filters Removal

To clean the dust filters, run slow-moving water through them and dry them before reinstalling. To remove the bottom and front filters, pull them out. The mesh cover on the top panel can also be cleaned.

Fan Compatibility

The case supports the following fan configurations:

Radiator Bracket Installation

To install the radiator bracket, align it and slide it in. Use the silver screws provided to lock it in place. For removal, unscrew the screws on the midplate and the bottom of the case.

140mm Form Factor Radiators:

Note: Supported radiator size and thickness varies depending on your setup. Radiator Bracket required for some configurations. Midplate bracket may need to be removed for others.

Hard Drive Installation

3.5" Installation

Place the hard drive into the tray and push in the arms to lock.

2.5" Installation

Align the SSD onto the mounting holes and screw it in.

3.5" Hard Drive Bracket Installation

Align the HDD onto the mounting holes and screw it in. Requires 4x 6-32x5mm screws.

HDD Bracket Removal: To remove the bracket, unscrew the 4 screws on the midplate and the 4 screws on the bottom of the case.

Drop-N-Lock SSD Bracket

SSD Installation

Slide in the SSD and screw in from the side to lock it in place.

Drop N Lock Mechanism

Watercooling Installation

Pump Installation

The case offers flexible mounting points for pump installation. Location 1 is standard. Location 2 requires a pump bracket. The pump bracket with universal mounting allows for multiple pumps to be installed.

Reservoir Installation

The Evolv ATX Tempered Glass case supports three types of mounting for different reservoir types. The highlighted circles (blue, red, and green) indicate mounting locations. Please check reservoir compatibility based on mounting hole distance.

PWM Hub Installation

The PWM hub functions optimally when modulated by a PWM signal from the motherboard, allowing for the greatest control range. Ensure your motherboard supports PWM signal modulation on the chosen header.

Connecting to CPU_FAN

For full PWM functionality, connect the 4-pin connector to the motherboard's “CPU_Fan” header, as this is typically the only header guaranteed to support PWM modulation by default. Connect the SATA 12V power to power the PWM hub.

Connecting to Other 4-pin Headers

Other 4-pin headers (e.g., CHA_Fan, OPT_Fan) may exist, but not all motherboards implement true PWM signal modulation on these. These headers often modulate RPM via voltage, offering a smaller control range. Using the 12V SATA power cable for these headers might cause interference and lead to fans running at full RPM. The PWM hub will draw power from the 4-pin connector, limited to 30W total device consumption.

Important Note: A motherboard header typically reads only one RPM signal. The motherboard will read the RPM signal from Fan 1. All other fans connected will be regulated according to Fan 1. Do not connect a Y-splitter to Fan 1.
